Features: Mary is a saint of the Catholic Church. She was conceived without sin and gave birth to Jesus as a pure virgin. Therefore, Jesus had no original sin, and through his suffering, he atoned for the sins of humanity. The Assumption of Mary, for herself, was also one of the most important events in her life. It marked the beginning of her journey as a devout follower of the savior and ultimately became the highest example for all believers, serving as an intercessor between the savior and the world, revered and worshiped by countless people. The 60 icons selected in this book, all themed "The Annunciation," are created by the most outstanding artists in the history of Western art. Spanning several centuries and covering classic works from various artistic fields, they will provide readers with profound and sacred insights.
